Paper

  • セルフストレージ投資の損失リスクに備えた準備資金額の計算方法               
    Kazuki ENDO
    Communications of the Operations Research Society of Japan, Sep. 2025, [Reviewed]
    This paper proposes a method for calculating the capital required to prepare for losses associated with self-storage investments by using VaR under stochastic models. Here, we assumed the time horizons of VaR as the time when the expected monthly PL is profitable first, and the accumulated expected PL is profitable first. Moreover, we performed some numerical experiments for an investment example.

  • Degraded Image Classification using Knowledge Distillation and Robust Data Augmentations
    Dinesh DAULTANI; Masayuki TANAKA; Masatoshi OKUTOMI; Kazuki ENDO
    IEICE Transactions on Information and Systems, 01 Dec. 2024, [Reviewed]
    This paper proposes an effective combination of data augmentations to train the classification network of degraded images using knowledge distillation.
    The results show that our proposed method outperforms existing methods regarding the interval mean accuracy of all degradation levels.
  • Diffusion-Based Adaptation for Classification of Unknown Degraded Images
    Dinesh Daultani; Masayuki Tanaka; Masatoshi Okutomi; Kazuki Endo
    New Trends in Image Restoration and Enhancement workshop and challenges (NTIRE2024), CVPR2024 Workshop, Jun. 2024, [Reviewed]
    We proposed a knowledge distillation approach to classify degraded images with unknown degradation by using the diffusion-based approach to adapt the degraded images.
    There is no classification of writing assignments.
  • Data augmentation technique for degraded images without losing the classification ability of clean images
    Kazuki Endo
    Journal of Electronic Imaging, Mar. 2024, [Reviewed]
    A classifier trained with degraded images usually underperforms a classifier trained with only clean images in the classification of clean images.
    This study proposes a data augmentation technique for degraded images without losing the classification ability of clean images.
  • ILIAC: Efficient classification of degraded images using knowledge distillation with cutout data augmentation
    Dinesh Daultani; Masayuki Tanaka; Masatoshi Okutomi; Kazuki Endo
    IS&T Electronic Imaging 2023, Jan. 2023, [Reviewed]
    We numerically showed the effectiveness of the cutout data augmentation under the knowledge distillation to train the classifier of degraded images.
    There is no classification of writing assignments.
  • Semantic Segmentation of Degraded Images Using Layer-Wise Feature Adjustor
    Kazuki Endo; Masayuki Tanaka; Masatoshi Okutomi
    IEEE/CVF Winter Conference on Applications of Computer Vision, Jan. 2023, [Reviewed]
    This paper proposes the layer-wise feature adjustor of semantic segmentation for degraded images with various levels of degradation.
    The proposed method can recognize not only degraded images but also clean images well.

  • CNN-Based Classification of Degraded Images with Awareness of Degradation Levels
    Kazuki Endo; Masayuki Tanaka; Masatoshi Okutomi
    IEEE Transactions on Circuits and Systems for Video Technology, Oct. 2021, [Reviewed]
    This paper is an extended version of "Classifying Degraded Images Over Various Levels of Degradation." This paper improved the classification ability of degraded images by using ensemble weights depending on degradation levels and features of restored images.
    This paper was seen as an early access paper in December 2020.
  • CNN-Based Classification of Degraded Images Without Sacrificing Clean Images
    Kazuki Endo; Masayuki Tanaka; Masatoshi Okutomi
    IEEE Access, Aug. 2021, [Reviewed]
    This paper proposed multi-task learning for the classification of degraded images and the estimation of degradation levels by using consistency regularization for image features. The results showed that the proposed method was able to classify degraded images without sacrificing the classification performance of clean images.
